A good breakfast assures the day is filled with promise.
Fortify the promise by dining at Reno’s Peg’s Glorified Ham n Eggs, on 420 S. Sierra Street.
Everyone is greeted warmly whether it is the 1st or 101st time they cross the threshold. Some opt for tables or booths while others settle in at the counter. Here strangers swap conversation while the counter man generously shares a picture book and colorful insights of Guanajuato, his Mexican birthplace.
From 6:30 am – 2:00 pm daily, except for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, Peg’s offers breakfast standards with a flavorful twists. Over 40 items, in addition to daily specials, fill the menu. Diners overwhelmed by the choices should know longtime local favorites include fresh salmon and eggs served blackened, and grilled, or Peg’s namesake – ham steak and eggs.
Eggs benedicts range from the traditional to those enhanced with chorizo patties and a chipotle spiked Hollandaise sauce.
Shrimp and guacamole, ground turkey and a variety of vegetables fill omelettes and scrambles as pancakes come full or short stacks. Along with Belgian waffles and French toast pancake sandwiches can be constructed of eggs, bacon, sausage and various toppings like banana and nuts.
Peg’s Monterey skillet breakfasts are in a word – huge!
Five varieties, huevos ranchero, tamale, chile relleno, Sierra or Mexicali deliver enough zestful textures and colors to delight multiple nibblers. Combined with the aforementioned hash browns, black beam corn salsa, cabbage slaw and fresh pinto beans with warm tortillas – skillet sharing is the norm.
“Peglets”, or children, have a full menu too. Pancakes in the shape of mice from Disney to cheese quesadillas and good old reliable PB and J keep the little ones happy. So does Peg’s toy chest and a line of multi-hued crayons by the front door. Even adults have been known to become Picassos while waiting for their meal.
Peg’s also offers lunch and a second location at 6300 Mae Anne in the city.
Just about the only thing Peg’s does not offer is the chance to meet Peg, herself.
As the owner and staff laughingly admit there is no Peg.
The name was chosen because it rhymes with eggs.
